- Our politician's think that We're stupid and have to be told what to do. Present us with the facts so we can make our own conclusions.
- Healthcare starts at Conception, Education, Infrastructure, and government oversight.
- Emphasis on prevention and less on punishment. A helping hand not a handout! Afterthought: College is cheaper than Prison.

- The coronavirus is like having an old-fashioned Florida hurricane party expecting an Category 1 or Category 2 and half way through the party someone tells you it's an E5 and all you can say oh S***. Now that we've pulled our pants up, it's time for the state to step up and help in any way it can through grants, loans and unemployment compensation. Set up a central database on the same basis is hurricane preparedness the state set up for all County and city in Florida to distribute needed medical supplies to places where they're needed the most and to reallocate these medical necessities as the virus shifts to different areas of the state.
- "Obama Care": the original idea was sound! The only problem is it was designed to fail. The legislators, healthcare industry, insurance industry and any other person's of interest that a hand in crafting this legislation should be ashamed of themselves. It almost verges on criminal! After it passed, I help my son to enroll and I was appalled by how bad the plan is. Other states have adopted their own version of this plan that worked extremely well and Florida should do the same thing fixing what I would call malpractice in the plan.
- Changes to Our Criminal Justice System that treat the Rich and Guilty better than the Poor and Innocent."Bryan Stevenson" DWB . Decriminalizing non-violent crimes. A small minority of our residents are bad people and there is only one place for them. The majority with a criminal history are good people that made bad decisions, and need to be pointed in the right direction. Afterthought: College is cheaper than Prison. Adopting Pennsylvania's police reforms bills 1841 and 1910.
